By Subject > American History, Americana > Civil War Sometimes called the "War of Rebellion" or the "War of Secession," the Civil War began in 1861 and didn't end until General Lee of the Confederate Army surrendered to General Grant in 1865 at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. Much has been written from both sides of the battlefield, and Dover's collection of journals, histories, photographs, children's activity books and more paint a complete picture of this important period in American history.
